Plot – Spoilers:
A Hong Kong schoolgirl Sara is raped by her stepfather and decides to leave town when she realizes her mother chooses to stand by and watch silently. Sara spends the next year homeless and working the streets, until an older man offers her a second chance at education, this time in a Band 1 school.
Both of them aren’t sure if he is just a sugar-daddy or there’s more to it. This is mostly about socially frowned-upon love that convinces the individuals it will be hopeless.
Well, this was way better than I expected. After watching this I have an opinion that chinese movies are generally way better than cheesy korean movies. I mean, I think I haven’t watched one good korean movie so far. But there is an annoying flaw with this movie, it’s great up until the last 15 minutes which are completely pointless and kinda drift away from the core of the plot. So my advice, watch up until there [SPOILER](up until she hands the girl to the police) and make up your own ending. Ignoring the last 15 minutes which are Hollywood like garbage, I rate it 4/5. If you include the shitty pointless extra minutes, it’s a 2/5. So, aside from the BS: Good actors, well written plot, interesting fresh air from the known and usual american cliche. At the beginning it had everything to be a nonsensical emo garbage but it actually developed nicely and subtly, without melodramatic masochism. It’s hard to explain, but whoever directed it have a knack for making the movie not so unrealistic that it makes you laugh and not so realistic that it becomes boring, it’s just the right amount of fantasy. However if you are looking for an effedupmovie, this is probably not what you are looking for, only a few parts are truly fucked up, the rest is normal drama. A good drama, but not a shock movie. Now, my theory is that the director got approached by some hollywoodian Jaba who threatened… Read more »
Classy girl sucking dick for an education. Might be the least fucked up thing on this site
Ok, move but why is it here? It’s not like the rape was violent or explicit. I’m sorry on a site that has all three I spit on your Graves. You need to come harder than a man grinding on a crying girl who looks like a 28 year old woman.
Nothing wrong with the movie I just expected something effed up.
Watching the movie Chor Gei made me feel ANXIETY.
Like the Simon Yam character,
I drive a bmw 740Li and my
girl friend is in high school,
wait, I mean,
I know someone who
drives a bmw 740Li and has a
girl friend in high school.
You’re a idiot and dude sounds like a very lucky person
Low on the effed up meter and cheesy story. Skippable
Good movie
if you’re reading this and you’re heartbroken like me, know this – it doesnt get better
true
Try getting ”heartbroken” just because shitty misunderstandings that could have been resolved with an adult talk, and the other person taking things the wrong way and getting wrong ideas.
That’s even worse in my opinion. Sad.
guys i’m still heartbroken, what do
Oh, you poor thing. Talk to me, I will try to cheer you up. Too many sad ppl on this site.
“what do”? Start with some “Hooked on Phonics”.
Lol at the boomer who doesn’t understand old memes. Don’t worry boomer, death will spare us of your presence soon enough 🙂
Woofwoof, not unless I get to u first. Wishing death on someone is childish and pathetic. And I am not a boomer, whatever that is, its obviously derogatory so go away and stfu.
I think you just outed your alt, mate.
When you grow up, are you going to be a Jolteon, Flareon or Vaporeon?
(Idk most of the others cos I’m a gen 1 boomer)
It does get better, I promise. About a year ago, I broke up with the girl I thought I was going to marry. These days, I don’t care. I’ll teach you how to not give a shit if you want.
how?
pls teach me
I got back together with the guy who broke my heart. Much preferable to staying alone the rest of my life
Too bad love knows no logic, nobodys thinking the circumstances or whats the best outcome for you when you see everything through rose tinted glasses.
Yes its sad, as is this part of life.
